The western North American forestland carbon sink: will our climate commitments go up in smoke? Open
Pathways to achieving net‐zero and net‐negative greenhouse‐gas (GHG) emission targets rely on land‐based contributions to carbon (C) sequestration. However, projections of future contributions neglect to consider ecosystems, climate change…

Influence of irregular shelterwood treatments on intensity and severity after a large wildfire in lodgepole pine stands: A case study from the interior British Columbia Open
Climate change has significantly impacted the wildfire regimes in lodgepole pine forests, resulting in prolonged fire seasons and altered fire behaviour. In North America, fire patterns have shifted towards more frequent and severe wildfir…

A remote sensing methodology for sub-stand growth and yield projection of post-harvest forest regeneration Open
Sustainable forest management is driven by accurate characterization of current forest conditions and predictions of future stand development. The spatial scale of these data affects the level of detail with which decisions can be made. We…

The 2023 wildfires in British Columbia, Canada: impacts, drivers, and transformations to coexist with wildfire Open
In 2023, all regions of British Columbia (BC) experienced record-breaking fire weather and wildfires, with extreme behavior and social-ecological effects. In total, 2245 wildfires burned 2840 545 hectares. Contemporary wildfires are the cu…

Characterizing annual leaf area index changes and volume growth using ALS and satellite data in forest plantations Open
While Leaf Area Index (LAI) is critical for understanding forest canopy, photosynthesis and forest growth, traditional field-based LAI measurements are laborious and costly. Remote sensing offers a practical alternative for extensive asses…

Characterizing forest structural changes in response to non-stand replacing disturbances using bitemporal airborne laser scanning data Open
Characterizing the extent, severity, and persistence of natural disturbances in forests is crucial in areas as large and heterogeneous as the Canadian boreal forest. Non-stand replacing (NSR) disturbances, in particular, can produce subtle…

Forest products circular economy in an export-focused jurisdiction: Can it fill the emission reduction gap? Open
The use of post-consumer wood in cascades offers several potential carbon-related benefits, including longer carbon retention, less landfilling, deferred tree harvesting, and increased substitution of emissions-intensive materials. However…

Cyclic loading effects and stability assessment of trees and stumps used as anchors in cable yarding operations Open
Swing yarders in running skyline configuration using either grapples or chokers represent the most common configuration for cable yarding in coastal British Columbia. In this context, whole-tree logging and short work cycles lead to heavy …
